Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0968916A2] Disclosed is an arrangement for mounting an item (in the preferred example a seat) on a surface for rotational movement relative thereto. A stator element (18) is fixed to the mounting surface and has a plurality of stator contact surfaces. A rotor element (16) is secured to the item (seat) and is mounted on the stator element (18) for rotation relative thereto about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the plane of the mounting surface. The rotary element has a plurality of rotor contact surfaces and the arrangement comprises means to lock releasably the rotor element in at least one predetermined position relative to the stator arrangement. The arrangement is such that each rotor contact surface engages a respective stator contact surface in the or each said predetermined position only. The arrangement seeks to minimise mass whilst providing a structure having direct low paths between the item (seat) and the mounting surface so as to minimise the extent to which the structure is subjected to bending loads. <IMAGE>
